I have been working both extensively on my coding, and trying to come up with the “next steps” after I get done with Free Code Camp’s Front End Developer certification. Something I should hopefully have done in the next several days. Looking forward I come back to a question I asked in an earlier post about picking Ruby or JavaScript for continued learning for back-end/full stack development. There has been a lot of great discussions with developers and local groups about the options....

Open source and example projects was major for my first Android App. I actually got a book called “Android for Programmers: An App-Driven Approach”. This was amazing because I got to see how these apps are made and put together instead or just reading the documentation and not knowing how things go together. Great article.

Fantastic list, I was just recommended http://www.exercism.io/ from a redditor as a place to find an (almost) never ending list of projects to help further learning to code.

Yeah I have yet to get into Node.JS. However, the Ruby community in Indy has been amazingly been having some amazing communications with me via Reddit. Plan is to head to their meet up and to see what Ruby is all about. Apparently there is a massive lack of Ruby developers in Indiana I’m not aware of.

I have been pretty happy with Free Code Camp. They make a pretty easy approach, and if you are not new you don’t have to sit through all the “challenges” just go straight to the Algorithms and Projects to get Certified. To date I have fully completed: Responsive Design with Bootstrap Basic Algorithms Basic Projects Intermediate Algorithms I am currently working on the “Intermediate Projects” about 2/3 though with only 2 projects left....

I have been struggling a lot lately in trying to decide my next steps as I finish Free Code Camp’s Front End Developer Certification. I figured I would blow through it quickly to get my legs back into web development after spending a good amount of time in C++ trying to build a 2d game engine. While it has been fun and I have got a friend started on programming using FCC’s easy to learn curriculum finding a job still has me perplexed....
